CGG GeoSoftware, AWS to work on E&P in China

CGG GeoSoftware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are extending their collaboration in the global exploration & production industry to China, the companies said in a statement.

“The strong record of collaboration between CGG GeoSoftware and AWS has resulted in valuable experience in cloud computing deployment. To resolve common reservoir modeling challenges in China, owing to complex geology, thin layers, and strong heterogeneity within reservoirs, greater accuracy is needed in estimating uncertainty to reduce risk,” the statement said.

“CGG GeoSoftware and AWS will continue with deep cooperation to provide advanced, high-quality technology and efficient professional technical services tailored to the needs of China’s E&P industry,” said Kamal al-Yahya, Senior Vice President, GeoSoftware & Smart Data Solutions

The companies said they will combine Jason RockMod, a geostatistical seismic inversion within GeoSoftware 11.0 to scale and access computing resources.
